Workbench is not validating IPv6 addresses with single colons and wildcards.

db8:5700:f:1110:%     does not validate when I believe it should
db8:5700:f:1110::%    does validate but is not correct for the subnet definition I need to use. It implies zeros padding where I don't want it defined.

Mysql CLI client handles this formatting correctly so I can add users by CLI but that is not as convenient as using workbench. 

How to repeat:
Add a user workbench and type an IPv6 subnet into the host matching.
